#014 - In this episode Sarah discusses her decision totransition from teaching Chemistry at a performing arts high school to a non-profit program for young men who are at risk. Her experiences in this new role have been much different than anyone might experience in a traditional school. Sarah tried to leave the profession entirely, but COVID had other plans. She put aside a career change and headed back to the classroom. Though it didn't involve a career shift, it involved a huge shift in her group of learners, but was still an investment in human capital.

Join us as Sarah discusses just how different things have been in her new position, the confrontations that have come with it, and even talk about how geography plays a role in education. We dive into the role social media plays in lives of todays students and it does and does not get used well.
